-|MPROVEMENT IN PAINTERS WHEEL-HORSES.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 177,150, dated May 9,1876; application filed April 18, 1876.

To all. whom it may concern Be it known that I, ALBERT D. OSGOOD, ofOneida, in the county of Knox, and in the State of Illinois, haveinvented a new and Improved Painters Wheel-Horse, of which the followingis a specification:

In the accompanying drawing, Figure 1 represents a front view of myimproved painters wheel-horse and Fig. 2 is a side view of the same.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.

The object of my invention is to providean improved horse for paintingthe wheels of vehicles of all kinds without necessitating the removingof the wheels. The-device admits the adjusting of the wheel into anyposition, takes up little room, and facilitates the work of painting ina considerable degree.

The invention consists of a base support or stand, with revolving upperpart, and an adjustable hub, supporting top arm, and thimble.

In the drawing, A represents a suitable stand, to which the upperextension part or post B is applied so as toturn readily thereon, and beclamped by a set-screw, G, into any position. The upper part of post Bcarries the swinging arm D, which supports the wheel to be painted by aconicalthimhle, l), passing through the hub of the wheel and screwedfast to its arm. The supporting-arm D is pivoted to the post B, andretained at any suitable angle to the same by an arc-shaped guide-piece,E, and a clamp-screw, E, so that the wheel may be completely paintedwithout being removed from the horse, as,in the old way. The wheel issecured at the desired angle on the arm and the post to. the stand, andmay then be painted in a quicker and easier manner than with the oldhorse.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire tosecure by Letters Patent, is A painters wheel horse, consisting of abase-stand, revolving ,top with set-screw,

swin into) arm with 'uide and clam screw, and hub-holding thimble,substantially in the manner and for the purpose specified.
